I recently added a "bucket lister" to my collection; a 1920s NJ state highway shield. So, I'm proud to share with 'youse guys' what I got...and one that I had. :)
Blurry shot of a NJ Route 28 shield that my neighbor had put on the curb for disposal!

NJDT mark in the lower right corner of the above sign...anyone know the approximate year of manufacture by this? I assume 1960s onward... EDIT: Thanks to Steve Alps for his opinion that it is likely early to mid 1980s vintage.

There were at least two or three variations of it.
